They used weapons to hunt their food down. r they'd lure a dog with some food...that is my guess. OR, more factually, Typically by killing them. Use of arrows, spears, stones, pit traps, herding them over cliffs. They didn't rope them if that's what you're asking. On rare occasion, immature animals were hand caught, throw a skin over them and pick them up, and raised them for short periods after the mothers were killed. Bears for instance. Native people believed the animals were giving themselves for food so subsistence hunters and gathers didn't have domesticated animals until the settlers came. More recently (post Columbian) horses were obtained from left behinds of the Spanish explorers. Dogs were sometimes obtained from early settlers during raids and were dependent on camp left overs.
